News: 2 days agoTuten (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's training camp practice, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Spin: Tuten has been limited by a hamstring injury, but he was able to participate in team drills during Sunday's practice. The rookie fourth-rounder has been working to carve out a role for himself in the Jaguars' backfield but will be limited to backup duties while Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby work with the first-team offense. Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers will give Tuten a good opportunity to showcase his abilities.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tuten was selected by Jacksonville in the fourth round of April's draft. He struggled with negative runs (22%) and fumbles (class-high 2.5% rate) during his 24 games at Virginia Tech, but his efficiency was elite, as he ranked third in both YAC and forced missed tackle rate. He dominated the combine, posting RB-best marks in the 40 (4.32), speed score (118) and vertical (40.5). Tuten is fast, tough and has three-down ability, though his Year 1 opportunity is unclear with Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby also on the depth chart. That could lead to a limited early-season role, but the uncertainty also allows him a chance to steal lead-back duties. Tuten is well worth a late pick, as he could eventually work his way into the RB2 discussion.
